#1 ", they're entitled to their opinion, but that shouldn't be our policy."

So of course Medea Asshole Benjamin and the idiot left think she knows more about military ops and stability than the military?

Someone [Rantburg policy violation] her, please.

#2 How about an invocation from the Real King of France, instead:

A prayer from Rodge

#3 A politician unwilling to abandon a campaign promise? Perhaps he is the messiah.

#4 Others said the timetable was less important than the goal.

More and more bypocrosity. The timeline means nothing, nothing at all. Obama is simply conducting a Kabuki dance with the left and the MSM in order to give them time to adjust their focus and story-line rhetoric. As you may recall under the Bush Adiministration there was very little in the MSM about the character of the GITMO detainees. It was "Close GITMO" morning and night. Now that Obama is the decision maker, the GITMO detainees are all of a sudden portrayed by the MSM as the most dastardly of murderers and scoundrels who have unacceptable recidivism rates and bear the closest of watching.

#5 Someone mentioned to the One that unless he was willing to abandon billions [trillions after he and the Donks inflate the currancy] of dollars of equipment and supplies that just the physical and lift ability to move all the material and gear out of country and redeployed is going to take a lot of time?

#7 The "goal" (withdrawal) is an outrageous, dangerous, inexcusable strategic catastrophe that also pours waste on the graves and hospital wards of those who have (successfully) sacrificed to achieve our REAL goals.

As several acquaintances still in uniform have told me for some time, they carefully avoid awareness of most domestic political developments in order to maintain their morale.

#8 "If there are some military people who feel we should stay there, they're entitled to their opinion, but that shouldn't be our policy."

"If" ??? He's been BRIEFED by senior military leaders regarding the dangers of a premature turnover and withdrawl. He never misses an opportunity to disrespect or attempt to disenfranchise the military.
